Some of you may remember a post about how to cook hard boiled eggs, and may have even shared your own recipe. (161 posts)

Well, anyway, after finding a bag of rice in the back of the pantry closet, I thought it might worth looking for a recipe for fried rice that would make my guessing unnecessary. So... Google "Fried Rice Recipe". 406,000,000 results...
Try it yourself... even if you're not interested in fried rice.
Much like the highly vaunted best HB egg recipes ... not what you'd expect. After looking at the first 6 recipes, I noticed one thing ... although the processes were different, not a single recipe even mentioned that the rice should be cooked, never mind no mention of soaking the rice first. The other neat thing was that preparation time plus cooking time would be about 20 minutes. (now that's really funny)
So, I tried it myself... even though some of the recipes asked for spices, most, were totally unknown to me or jeanie. Imagine... 1/4 teaspoon of safflower juice, or a sprinkle of dried ground poinsettia stalks. 15 different vegetables, five kind of meat (even though most recipes didn't mention meat.)
The first recipe that mentioned cooking the rice, said to boil until cooked, spread out on a large cooking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and put into the freezer for one half hour, before sauteeing.
So... at the risk of starting another hard boiled egg controversy.... anybody have a suggestion?
ummm... The suggestion to go to a Chinese or Japanese restaurant has already been made.
Cheers!
